{"product_id":"egypt-in-england-chris-elliott-9781848020887","title":"Egypt in England","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor more than 200 years, and especially since the rediscovery of ancient Egypt by Europe in the 19th century, the exotic Egyptian style in architecture has been a sign of our fascination with a civilisation that has had a long-lasting and deep-seated influence on British culture. From its fashionable success in the Regency period to its varied uses in the 20th century, Egyptian-style architecture has much to say about what ancient Egypt represents to us. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEgypt in England\u003c\/i\u003e is the first detailed guide to the use of the Egyptian style in architecture and interiors in England, and to those that survive, most of which can be seen or visited by the public. Fully illustrated, it combines a series of topic essays giving the architectural and Egyptological background to the use of the style with a guide allowing sites to be located, and explaining what can still be seen. A variety of buildings and monuments - from cinema, supermarket, synagogue and factory, to folly, mill, Masonic temple and mausoleum - are highlighted in the book. For those who don't know their architrave from their entablature, or their Anubis from their Uraeus, there are also glossaries of architectural terms and ancient Egyptian deities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis engaging book is an accessible and practical guide for a general audience, but has enough depth to be useful to scholars in a range of subject areas. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Elliott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848020880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848020887\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Historic England\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/06\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 7.50w x 0.80d","brand":"Chris Elliott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437111161087,"sku":"9781848020887","price":39.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_92ddf6f3-6b5d-4dfa-aeda-26e2b76754ac.jpg?v=1777159937","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/egypt-in-england-chris-elliott-9781848020887","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
